Are gross receipts from motor fuel used off-highway (e.g., propane as home heating or motor fuel utilized in agriculture) included in the PAT base?

The PAT is measured by gross receipts from the initial sale of motor fuel outside the distribution system in Ohio. Unlike the motor fuel tax in Chapter 5735, the manner of use does not impact its inclusion in the base of the tax.
